Where I see parallels to the 1920s is that people start looking to the right as soon as they're affected by a bad economy. But no one's point about shying away from the responsibilities of a democracy is probably just as valid.

@X-Ray Rod Yeah, it's crazy expensive. When I was in Chile, I met three Finns who came specifically for the festival. In the end it got canceled, lol. Imagine how blown away they were

People want to stay in a time that is familiar to them and above all more favorable and voting conservative seems to them to be the most appropriate solution.

@Shmelevod: Wish you the best of luck, then! I try to visit Chile as often as I can but that ends up being 4 times since 2005. It's such an expensive trip. :(

@corrupt you were talking about the 1920s and the rise of fascism but I think that this time it's more about the mentality. The world is getting craquer and Europe is deteriorating.

I already said like ten years ago that we are facing the resurrection of far-right views. You can call me a cynic or a clairvoyant. 'Cos look at Germany (AfD), Slovakia, Hungary and now FPÖ in Austria. It's a pattern.
